Study pathway

Every school day, every day of life is a journey of discovery for each student of US Vietnam Talent International School. Originating from an intensive education research process, the UTS academic program is designed to make learning a responsibility and interest for each student, helping students understand the meaning of learning for themselves and society, thereby forming lifelong learning habits. UTS students not only study in the classroom, but learn at home, from teachers, friends, and the surrounding society as well.

Kindergarten

The UTS Kindergarten Program is designed to accompany children through their critical early years, built on a strong foundation of three core components: the Oxford International Curriculum, the Floppy’s Phonics program, and the Talent Program for life skills—all aimed at fostering holistic development across seven key areas for young learners.

With two flexible learning pathways—Oxford Bilingual Program (OBP) and Oxford English Program (OEP)—the UTS Kindergarten Program meets the diverse needs of families and supports each child's individual pace of development.

▪️ Oxford Bilingual Program (OBP): A bilingual pathway with 50% of class time conducted in English, enabling children to use both languages confidently and preparing them to thrive in international learning environments.

▪️ Oxford English Program (OEP): Children are gently introduced to English through play and creative activities, allowing them to develop language skills naturally in a warm and engaging learning space.
